After [enabling online booking](/learn/enabling-online-booking/), you can enable services for online booking.

To enable a service for online booking, open the **Services** app and select the service.

Select the **Online Booking** tab and select **Edit**.

Enable the **Available in online booking** toggle. You can also enter a service description that will be visible in online booking. Select **Save**.

Once the service is enabled for online booking, make sure there are [staff members assigned to the service](/learn/link-services-to-staff-members/) and that those staff members have available [work hours](/learn/staff-member-work-hours/).

The following online booking settings are also available for each service:

## Link copiedCustomize price displayLink copied

When enabled, you can specify how the service price should display in online booking.

- **Show minimum price:** The service price will display as a minimum price (e.g. $100+).

- **Hide price entirely:** The service price (and [service customization](/learn/help-articles/services/service-customizations/) prices) will be hidden entirely. This is helpful for services such as hair extensions or color corrections that have variable pricing. If a deposit or pre-payment is required to book the service, that amount will **not** be hidden.

## Link copiedShow prompt-to-callLink copied

When enabled, clients can see the service in online booking, but they cannot book the service. This is helpful for services that require explanation or services that vary in price/duration. You can enter a **Prompt-to-call explanation** to explain why the service can't be booked online. You can also provide links in the prompt-to-call explanation, such as a link to an external [form](/learn/help-articles/forms-and-charting/).

## Link copiedRequire home addressLink copied

When enabled, clients can enter their home address in online booking for in-home services.

## Link copiedRequire a credit cardLink copied

To require a credit card, you must have an integrated [payment account](/learn/payment-accounts/).

When enabled, clients will be required to enter their credit card information in online booking to book this service. This allows you to collect a credit card on file to [charge any no-show or cancellation fees](/learn/how-can-i-enforce-my-cancellation-policy/).

**Note: **

If certain staff members do **not** require a credit card, you can [disable the credit card requirement](/learn/how-can-i-require-a-credit-card-for-online-booking/#disabling-the-credit-card-requirement-for-staff-members) for each staff member in the **Staff Members** app.

## Link copiedRequire payment at the time of bookingLink copied

To require payment at the time of booking, you must have an integrated [payment account](/learn/payment-accounts/).

When enabled, clients will be required to enter their credit card information and pay for the service at the time of booking. You can select either **Full payment** or **Partial deposit**.

- **Full payment:** The full service price will be charged during online booking.

- **Partial deposit:** A fixed amount or percentage of the service price will be charged during online booking.
